It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed!

She has very nice smell already, I think his bloom will be very sticky and satisfying ,Already Its 5th week and she’s getting bigger and bigger.

Plant looking good, just observing the grow now.

Getting closer to harvest every day. In fact, had to start early with Grace, as all of her leaves turned yellow and the trichomes are starting to cloud up. Decided to try the top bud harvest method and allow the smaller buds on the lower portions of the plant to develop more. Read somewhere that it'll allow me to reap an additional 25-50% more flower.

The leafes started to getting yellow 😁😁😁😁

.

This was Chop week for Chemdawg 1. Day 77 above ground and down she comes. Next up is the Northern Lights who probably has a week then flush and keep an eye on Trichomes. The Foxtailing Chemdawg won't be far behind she's a genetic mutant Foxtailing from her head to her toes. Should be pretty potent. Chemdawg 3 is flying since being topped but her and the strawberry pie are another story. Just thrown a Tangie Auto in too.

Flower power Time 🤘🏻🎉🤘🏻 They are starting to pube up so good times ahead Keeping posting Tru the week Removed the lowest 2 branches from some plants 29/10/22 Removed the Layer of perlite and added some soil to top some Pots off also had to remove one cherry cola she looked to sickly and could not get here back healthy so 15 left 31/10/22 The Stretch is coming everything is going great so far

It’s the 3rd week of flower so I did a heavy defoliation on day 20. The watering is up to 7 times a day and 1 minute increments. The reservoir is 14 gallons and my total runoff at each reservoir change is only about 1 1/2 gallons in the waste bucket.

Very good smell so far, exact fragrance that the other 2 phenos plants Ak420, hoping the best for a good sativa happy energetic high with that sweetness in flavor and aroma, let's see how she perfoms! 👨‍🌾💚🧡

Wir sind in BW 4, und die Pflanzen zeigen jetzt klar, dass sie in der Hauptblüte angekommen sind. Der Stretch ist komplett abgeschlossen – stattdessen liegt der volle Fokus auf Bud-Aufbau und Trichomentwicklung. 24K Gold legt kräftig nach: Die Buds verdichten sich sichtbar, die Kelche schwellen an und erste feine Kristalle sind unter normalem Licht bereits zu erkennen. Das Aroma wird intensiver – eine Mischung aus süß-würzig und leicht erdig. Ihre Struktur bleibt offen, was für eine hervorragende Luftzirkulation sorgt. Gelato 33 präsentiert sich kompakter, aber mit dichten, gleichmäßigen Blütenansätzen entlang aller Triebe. Ihre Tops sind etwas kleiner, wirken aber extrem harzreich. Die Blätter bleiben sattgrün und vital, keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffstress oder Überdüngung. Nach dem Entfernen des Netzes stehen beide Pflanzen stabil – die Struktur hält von selbst. Die Tropfbewässerung läuft konstant und gleichmäßig, Drain-Kontrolle regelmäßig durchgeführt. Nährstoff-Setup: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 8 ml/l • 📈 EC 1.7 pH 6.0 • 🌡️ Temperatur: 25–26 °C Tag / 21 °C Nacht • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 45–50 % • 💨 Umluft: stark, freie Bewegung im Zelt Der Grow läuft stabil, semi-hydroponic durch das Tropfsystem. Das Wurzelwerk profitiert von der stetigen Sauerstoffzufuhr, was sich in starkem Blütenwachstum zeigt. Ab jetzt beginnt die spannende Phase – Dichte, Duft und Harz nehmen mit jedem Tag zu.

Day 85. First girl is down, she was always smallest, made herself extra bent in veg, but started to flower first and finished first. Never will i leave seedling pot to grow through, girl had very weak root system. She had smallest shock from moving indoors, furthest from light ... that only makes my point, i can't mix lights with my current setup, something happens with plants. Day 86. Second girl is down, no space and too humid, better chop now, than part whats left from bud rot ;))) Cure day. Girls both blackjacked me ;))) Smallest plants in my history, 42 from one i would count as not so bad, an ounce was expected, but not from two plants total ..... They smell so fruity and sweet, thats pure joy ! Maybe only joy ;)))) Grow report will be filled soon, i will cry enough there ;)))

WEEK 3 FLOWER -Love the terp profile on this, Has a deep sweet herbal skunk back with a powerful tropical strawberry kush front that carries thru super juicy & loud reminding me of strawberry soda or gushers -Introducing a 150w HPS bulb as under canopy lighting that will be moved around every few days, I usually will just lay it rite on the pot (not on floor as shown in video) beaming under canopy for 6hr run time mid day in overall flowering light cycle

This was my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing and honestly I made some mistakes along the way. In hindsight, I ran too many feed cycles in a 24hr period which did not allow the medium and fabric pots dry out enough which led to a Fungus Gnat infestation which wasn't caught until late into flower. I also think I had the nutrient level set too high which may have kept the upper portion of the medium too wet. Other than those issues the only other hindrances were related to the actual ebb/flow system itself and beyond my immediate control such as plant spacing, solution temperature etc. I will say that when using this AirCube system I found out the hard way that you really need to have all of your plants starting at the same time, and preferably of the same strain unless you're using a trellis net to control the canopy height. Lastly, I will say that the GrowAce AirCube system was very well built, used quality materials, is expandable, and was very easy to setup and get running. Now to the plants... All three Strawberry Gorilla's were germinated together and sprouted within 24hrs of one another. I did very minimal training on them consisting of leaf tucking and gentle bending of branches, then some LST using horticulture wire starting in Week 1 of flower, which all three responded well to. All three pheno's began to flower right around Day 24 from seed and continued for another 10 weeks. I kept the tent temperatures during veg and early flower between 76-80℉ with the light on, and 70-72℉ with the light off and the RH at 60-70%. Once in flower, I gradually lowered the 'light on' temperature to 72-75℉ and 65℉ during the dark period. I also lowered the RH down to 35-40% during late flower. The entire run they were fed Plagron nutrients exclusively, using their Cocos 'A' and Cocos 'B' along with Green Sensation. Power Roots and Royal Rush. I had nothing but great results from this lineup from Plagron and highly recommend their entire product line! I ended up with three distinct phenotypes, two of which leaning more to the fruity/strawberry side. The third pheno was Glue all the way, with a pungent, chem-like aroma that will make your eyes water! The #1 and #2 phenotypes took on some beautiful coloration through late flower, expressing shades of purple, pinks and lavender. Both of them also had a very fruity/sweet aroma that grew extremely strong during late flower. The #3 phenotype struggled a little bit during the run and was affected the most by the Fungus Gnats (which I'm sure affected her yield) but incredibly ended up not only being the most aromatic of the bunch, but also the frostiest! The #3's flowers were a lime green with hints of pink and lavender on some, all were covered in large headed trichomes! Once the Strawberry Gorilla's reached Week 8 of flower I began regular checks of their trichomes and once they had reached a ratio of 90% milky/10% amber I placed all three plants in darkness for 72hrs in the 4x4, keeping the temperature at 64℉ and a RH of 35%. After three days in the dark I chopped and hung the plants whole in the 4x4 suspended by a wire I ran across the tent. I kept gentle air circulation going in the tent and maintained a temperature of 55-60℉ and monitored the RH, keeping it at 50% for the first 24hrs, then 60% for the remainder of the hanging time. The first plant was ready to trim in 9 days, with the other two 10 & 11 days respectively. All three were trimmed and their flowers placed in Mason jars with a hygrometer inside to begin the curing process. The beautiful 'sugar trim' was sifted on my 24"x24" four screen setup which I did outside on my porch on a calm day that was only 38-40℉. I got a tremendous return of 42g of some beautiful 90u sift that I can't wait to press into rosin! All in all, having cultivated this strain previously I can say that the results could have been a whole lot better, but... taking into consideration my level of expertise with hydroponic growing and the stresses that the Strawberry Gorilla's had to contend with, I'd say that it was a win and a testimony to how resilient and strong this strain from FastBuds is... It's no wonder that Strawberry Gorilla Auto is a trophy winner!🏆

Welp, These took a Bit longer than my Cream Cookies and still didn't fill out quite like I thought they would.. But they are still a very beautiful strain and a joy to have grown. They smell stronger and way more lovely than the cream cookies thou just a beautiful aroma I'd really like to grow these again Indoors where I can control them easier. (Sadly they dried into wispy nothings and we turned them all into bubble hash) #3 took the hit of some aphids and ended up in a frozen hash pile in our fridge along with two cream cookies from the run. It's frozen weight combined was 203g. *will update with dry*

The plants are looking really healthy, I've been defoliating here and there to get the light to penetrate to the lower leaves and branches. They have started to bush out from topping them last week. I started using Mammoth P Microbes halfway through last week. They seem to have grown a little quicker since adding them. The plants are still being fed 4 times a day at 1 minute each feeding. No signs yet of which is female and male, I am planning on pulling all the males once they show signs.
